Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup almonds slivered
8 sheets of phyllo dough
1/2 cup melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until soft.
Add the ground chicken, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, and cayenne; cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
Stir in the chopped parsley and slivered almonds. Remove from heat.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
Cut the phyllo in half lengthwise. Spoon a small amount of the chicken mixture at the end of each strip, fold over to form a triangle, and continue folding until you reach the end. Brush the edges with butter to seal.
Place the briouats on a baking sheet and brush with more melted butter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, add dried fruits such as raisins or apricots to the filling.
These can be frozen before baking for a quick appetizer later.
